you've seen the polls nationally tight, romney leading. this is an election that will be decided state by state. how close is the race now? >> the first debate did sort of shift things. at first you had a lot of democrats that were trying to appease themselves by saying oh, all the movement in the polls is a bunch of soft republicans that quote, unquote come home to mitt romney, he shows life and all of this, but i have to say the numbers i've seen and in talking to both campaigns, something shifted fundamentally, and it is a dead heat, but it is one of these even right after the debate with obama campaigning, yes, it is a dead heat but we have the fundamentalists in battleground states. romney folks would have conceded that. this morning, the numbers in the last 72 hours, we are in a dead heat and you see the shift. this means, savannah, this debate couldn't be more critical for president obama because if he loses this debate, then you could start seeing a momentum continue to shift to romney. i think he would pull ahead in a lot of state

we both voted for obama, and if you are going to think this is a funny, but my decision came with the last debate, and the reason was the minutes that mitt romney said that he was not going to cut the 1%-ers, i read all the people, and there is one thing that i have taught my children, my grandchildren, is do not lie. that was a big lie. jerry, when we got together 12 years, he was a republican, i was an independent. each time we vote, we say, we might as well not vote because you are going to cancel my vote out. this is the first time we did not cancel each other's phone app. he came close to not being able to but because he gave up his license a year ago, and he needed to go down and get a florida i.d., and then all the sun, you got a passport. so he was able to vote. i listened to them all. there were some things i liked on both sides, but i decided not to change horses in the middle of the stream. host: the early voting quest was there a line? caller: i floated through the mail. my daughter is here in florida. she just came in on my 80th birthday. she met a man here. she is 60, an

what happened basically and i don't think it was covered enough was that romney for a very large to read ran out of money because he had spent all his money on the primaries and a lot of super pac money but he really did not have a lot of money. obama had it sitting on this war chest and he thought it was going to be much bigger than romney's. the reason that obama overwhelmed romney with those ads between april and august when as charlie said he was able to demonize the out of touch plutocrat is because of the fact that he got a huge advantage of money and they could not spend general election money although they were spending all treasury of it until he had literally not only been nominated but accepted the nomination in late august so that is one place where money was important. >> let me go january to april. the republican nomination win a lot longer than it would have because you had mezzanine financing in in the way of super pacs basically providing money to santorum when he needed it, gingrich when he needed and actually romney when he needed it and the kathie republican nominatio
